• 0:57
  Speaker 1: on One leg Up on News to start twenty twenty five.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Here's where we're at in this moment one thirty nine
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: January second, twenty twenty five. According to Superintendent in New
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Orleans and Kirkpatrick, Bourbon Street's about to be open to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the public as of one thirty nine Eastern Remember the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl had to be postponed till today, which I
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: am in full support of. I mean, New Orleans just
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: underwent a tragedy and some people thought football should still
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: go on while lives were killed by a terrorist. How
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: insensitive did yesterday's show some of the sports world. You
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: want the Sugar Bowl to go on when there could
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: be explosives in the Superdome or around it. You want
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the Sugar Bowl to go on between
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame and Georgia when we have tragedy on our hands. No.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I thought the teams handled it very well, by the way,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and they were telling their prayers and thoughts with the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: fifteen killed by this maniac. And there has been a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: lot of one leg up on news by these outlets.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: To continuously feverishly supply us with information as they found
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it and report on it with such fast work has
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: been impressive, and I wanted to wait till we got
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: more facts before I came on and talked. But what
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I'm about to play you from An Kirkpatrick, the superintendent
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and in the New Orleans Police Department chief is so
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: moving it should rally the spirits of New Orleans of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: tours in New Orleans who are just trying to enjoy
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: their New Year's week. I'll get to that clip in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a minute, but you know what, the real one leg
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: up on news and I haven't had a chance to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: shout it out yet, but I want to turn you
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to one. Jenny tare T a E R. Jenny s.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Tair on X, who was a New York Post Texas reporter,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: said this yesterday at four twenty nine pm. She posts,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the FBI didn't show up to the NOLA suspects address
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: until one pm today. We were on the scene before
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: no one came out of the home or answered the door.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: This was a quote tweet of FBI Houston, who said,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the FBI Houston and the Harrison County Sheriff's Office are
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: currently conducting law enforcement activity near the intersection of Hugh
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Road and Crescent Peak Drive, securing a perim in the area,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and they're asking people to avoid the area because they
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: believe they had some homemade plant bombs to detonate in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: this maniacs home. So did Jenny s Taire You have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: one leg up on news to start twenty twenty five
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: because you were there even before the FBI got there,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and that is journalism that is getting the scoop and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: being prepared in Houston, Texas. So kudos to you for
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: being on the scene. And honestly, I'm sorry anybody had
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to be on the scene. This tragedy should not have happened,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: because firstly, where was the FBI on this? Weren't there
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: tips that something was going to happen. Weren't there tips
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that they was about to have an explosion in front
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of the Trump Hotel in Vegas? Weren't there? One has
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to ask ourselves, I'm sorry it got to this point
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: where we're now mourning and others who have been gravely
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: injured by this, because I feel like for families of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: fifteen innocent lives, well really fourteen, because they've actually counted
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the fifteenth as the suspect who got killed in a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: shootout with police, that this even had to happen. We
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: applaud the FBI when a terror plot on election day
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: is foiled, but it's also hold them accountable for when
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: plots are completely missed, or background checks are not thoroughly done,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: or videos of the suspect driving to Louisiana are not
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: really vetted. It could have been handled way better. As
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Senator Marshall Blackburn said, it tells you all you need
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to know about this FBI. This is the same FBI,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: by the way that when Mangioni's mother said, Hey, I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna do something to that CEO Brian Thompson,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and they didn't do anything about it. It feels like
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it's the same FBI that drops the ball. And while
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: it prevents one tragedy, the minute it slips through the cracks,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: this happens fourteen or dead. They should be the ones
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: we wore, not the fifteen. Because one is the suspect.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: He should not be mourned. Think of it that way.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: He should not be mourned. And the isis component makes
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: you wonder if there are terror cells in New Orleans,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: which I think they were thinking there were, and if
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: there are active cells that need to be shut down
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: right away, and maybe it does take a change in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: present to make that happen. But I'll get off my
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: soapbox because I truly want to say this podcast is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: dedicated to those who have had one leg up on news,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Kyle Becker, Jenny Taire, who have been really getting the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: truth out. They're getting us on the scene on the
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: ground with real facts and trustworthy information better than those
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: we call the mainstream media. That's why independent journalists have that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And yes New York Post, she's a journalist with the Post,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: but she's an journalist in my view. If you got
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: there before the FBI, that's great reporting on your own work,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: on your own due diligence. We need the independent voices
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to have one leg up in twenty twenty five when
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it comes to these major news breaking horror stories, because
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the independence are the ones that are gonna tell us
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the truth and nothing but the truth. Prayer to the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: families of those who have been killed by a terrorist
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: attack and to the local police that are stepping up
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: their game to try and get New Orleans backing up
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and running in safely. So like Superintendent and Kirkpatrick who
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: ended her press conference today with this, Yes, this city
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: is amazing. This city is known for its resiliency. This
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is a city that is still impacted from twenty years
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: ago with Hurricane Katrina. This city knows paying, but this
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: city also knows how to recover. And they were waiting
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: for recovery and you can recover and not ever forget
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the scar. How moving is that? How inspiration was that?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: How rallying is that? It sounds a hell of a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: lot better than the governor going out to dinner when
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: his city is mourning tragedy and they had a big
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: old smile on his face? Did the Louisiana governor for what?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And now? The best healing is of Irish fans and yes,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Georgia fans who go to the game that I'm sure traumatized,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: but who go to the game today are treated to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a really damn good Texas versus Arizona State like game.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: How cool would that be as a way to bring
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the fan bases and excitement together through tragedy and to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: really bring New Orleans together in tragedy
